Today, on Remembrance Sunday, we honour all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of freedom and peace. Across the United Kingdom, we remember those who lost their lives in the two World Wars and in conflicts since. This tradition of remembrance dates back to the Armistice of 11 November 1918, which brought the fighting of the First World War to an end. For Ukraine, remembrance is not only about the past. Every day, our brave men and women continue to make the ultimate sacrifice in defence of our freedom. Today, we also pay special tribute to the courageous British volunteers who have stood shoulder to shoulder with Ukrainian defenders, including those who have laid down their lives so that the free world may remain free, just as generations of Britons did during the two World Wars. Their courage and sacrifice will forever be remembered in Ukraine’s history and stand as an enduring bond that strengthens the strategic partnership between our two nations. We remember. We honour. We will never forget. Lest We Forget.
